The wheels are 15-inch.Speed rating must be at least H.Off hand,I don't remember the load rationg.The original tires had a 70-series aspect ratio.If I pushed the max power rpm,the gearing was good for around 156-mph.
The H-rated tires on the truck are 60-series.Hankook manufactured them and was only make I could readily get in a 15-inch size.
Goodyear makes their EAGLE racing tires which is typically what is run at Bonneville.I will look into their sizing options for the rear wheels only.
